Is Huel packaging recyclable?

Explains the recyclability of each Huel packaging type — RTD bottles (recyclable, 51% rPET), bar wrappers (flexible plastic drop-off), and powder pouches (not recyclable).

Written by Jamie Forbes

Recyclability varies by Huel product format. Here is a breakdown by packaging type.

Ready-to-drink bottles

Huel's RTD bottles — including Huel Black Edition RTD and Huel Lite RTD — are fully recyclable and contain 51% recycled plastic (rPET). Place them in standard kerbside recycling.

Complete Nutrition Bar wrappers

Huel Complete Nutrition Bar wrappers can be recycled at storefront collection points where flexible plastics are accepted, such as soft plastic drop-off bins available at many grocery stores in the US.

Powder pouches

Huel powder pouches are not currently recyclable through standard recycling collection. They are made from multi-layer flexible plastic to protect product freshness and shelf life. Huel is actively exploring more recyclable alternatives.

Checking packaging instructions

For the most accurate disposal guidance, check the recycling instructions printed on each Huel product's packaging. Huel's packaging is reviewed and updated regularly as more sustainable options become available.
